What Will You Leave Behind? 
Did you know that if every Lakewood resident recycled just one glass bottle, it would have the same benefits to our air as planting 234 trees grown for 10 years? Recycling helps preserve Lakewood’s beautiful parks and open spaces for the next generation by reducing the pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that come from landfills. What will we leave behind? Lakewood has responded to that question by launching an educational initiative focused on recycling. For more information and recycling resources, visit Lakewood.org/WeRecycle.
